The Safe Place to Learn Act of 2016 established state policy "to ensure that all local educational agencies continue to work to reduce discrimination, harassment, violence, intimidation, and bullying. It is further the policy of the state to improve pupil safety at schools and the connections between pupils and supportive adults, schools, and communities."

In support of the Safe Place to Learn Act, Assembly Bill 34, passed in September 2019 and Senate Bill 939, passed September 2024 (and is reflected in Ed Code 5.6/234.6) stipulating that specified information on bullying and harassment prevention and support for students who are identified as neurodivergent or perceived as neurodivergent must be easily accessible and readily available to students, parents, and guardians on each local education agency's website.

Each item in Education Code Section 5.6/234.6 is listed on this page with corresponding support resources and materials found in the accordion menu.
